The Reflection Series

These past few years have given us all a lot to reflect on. The harsh realities of our time, from inequalities we witness in our world, to the ongoing wars, to the everyday struggles we face, all weigh down on us with little time for deep inner personal reflections and for broader concerns about our species, the world we live in, and even the cosmos we exist within. We ourselves are the result of our experiences, as individuals, as a society, as a people, with culture and history embedded in our beings. Who we are today is a reflection of our past and our given circumstances; our distinct variety of cultures are reflections of history and customs; and the current status of our planet is a consequence of its past and its encounters.

The continuity and everlasting attributes of self-reflecting constitute concrete and undeniable grounds for improvement and progression. Compassion, understanding, hope, and change arise from reflection.
